A very good friend of mine uses his f250 with nice and toasty heated seats to feed his cattle every winter and his completely arthritic knees (too many years riding rough stock) could not be happier.
This thought started with the question whether a unibody truck could be "tough".
Heated seats, if you want them, can definitely be comfortable--and therapeutic if you have health issues, but they sure don't make a truck "tough" IMO. If you've been around for a few years, reflect on what a pickup truck was in the 50's or 60's. People bought trucks back then to use them to carry stuff. If your butt was cold, you put on yer wool long johns.
